My wife and 57 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: I are the owners. We've built this because we felt 58 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: like God told us to, and we've been in business 59 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: for fourteen years. We're in the process of opening a 60 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: new location and the black Horse Ranch area, which will 61 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: be like a small account of service place.

We homeschool are kids. My one 69 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: of my kids has his own business now also, and 70 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: what's that we have. We've homeschooled for twenty five years. 71 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: He has a I'm going to tell you the name 72 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: of it first. It's called Premier's Sharpening. He has a 73 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: mobile knife and tool sharpening business. So he goes to 74 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: businesses and farmers' markets and just anywhere that has tools 75 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: or knives, hardware stores and sharpens knives and tools, and 76 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: he does it mobilely, and he has more business than 77 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: he can handle. He does. He does a great job. 78 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: He does primarily restaurant knives, but he goes to stores. 79 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: They'll have customers come drop off, like a hardware story 80 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: that there'll be a drop off, they'll drop off all 81 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: their tools. He'll come by one day a week sharpening 82 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: all those tools. They'll come pick them back up. 83 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: You know, there's so many things like that, Beckett that 84 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: if a person finds the thing they're going to do 85 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: to provide a service, add value. 86 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 3: Yep. 87 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: You don't have to ask for a wage increase or whatever. 88 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: If you provide value, people will pay for it. We 89 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: used to pay I don't remember who it was, but 90 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: I remember when I would look at the bills for 91 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 1: the RCC and it always felt like it costs more 92 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: to run the place than it should, because I'd never 93 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: run a restaurant before, even though it had a lot 94 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: of conversations. And I would look at the expenses and 95 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: it would be this expense to scare a Meani or 96 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: something as an Italian name, and it was massive. I mean, 97 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: it'd be twelve hundred dollars. And I would say what 98 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: is this for? Because it just kept coming up again 99 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: and again. Well, that's our knife sharpener. And I'd say, 100 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: why are we spending all this money on knife sharpening? 101 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: Because the expense is just little things, just nikeling and 102 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: ime just add up and they just get you yep, 103 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: And they said, well, I said, what if we cut that? 104 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: What what happens if we just eliminate our knife sharpening? 105 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: And our chef said, you can. The problem is it'll 106 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 1: take us. It could take us five, six, seven times 107 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: as long to cut the meat, and your labor costs 108 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: will add up. I understand it is high, but what 109 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: we're trying to do is reduce the amount of time 110 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: it takes. Now was he Bs and me. I don't know, 111 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: but but it made me think about a lot of things. 112 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: So good for you that you are encouraging that. I'm 113 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: looking at your website. I love it. It looks fantastic. 114 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: I love that your homeschool the kids. I love the 115 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: whole I love the whole picture. I think, I think, 116 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: I think what you're doing is interesting. And you know, Beckett, 117 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: I will tell you it's seasons. 118 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: Let's see. 119 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: Make sure I got that way, Seasons harvest dot farm. 120 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: But you can look up Seasons farm and anybody can 121 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: find it. Let me say this, the reason I am 122 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: so passionate about independent business doesn't have to be small business. 123 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: Independent business is if you look at who is funding 124 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: your candidates, if you look at who is making a 125 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: stand against, whether it's COVID government lockdowns. Matt Brice taking 126 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: a stand against Lena Hidalgo in her COVID lockdown was 127 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: what launched federal American growth. He'd been in business for 128 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: ten years. That was the moment. And Ed Hindy, I'll 129 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: never forget this. This means so much to me. Ed Hindy, 130 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: who should technically be his rival, Taste of Texas, the 131 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: big boy on the block just up the street. And 132 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: Matt decided he was going to open and if Lena 133 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Hudoalga wanted to shut him down. She could shut him down. 134 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: He had just opened and he had these employees and 135 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: he had to pay their bills. And ed Hendy said, 136 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: can I come on opening night? And he said, sure, 137 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: I'll get you a table. Said I don't want a table. 138 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: I want to help you. See meet and greet and seat, 139 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: and he and his wife Nina did that that night. 140 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: This is helping somebody who is a competitor. But he 141 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: doesn't look at the world like that, which neither does 142 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: Russell Lebar, neither do people that you want to be around. 143 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: They figure there's enough out there for everybody. Let's all 144 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: help each other. And he came and he stood and 145 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: he seated folks, and that standing up for that when 146 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: a lot of other places, corporate restaurants closed down. We 147 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: have got to support our independent businesses because people that 148 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: work for big businesses they won't speak out, and at 149 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: some point that's what the left wants. We're all on 150 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: welfare or working for a big corporation. 151 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 3: Murdered too. 152 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: Native American Michael. 153 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: Ferry showay, you have my attention. A program in Oregon 154 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: called Hacienda Straightforward on the website grant for first time 155 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: home buyers in the state of Oregon thirty thousand dollars 156 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: conditions only for people who are not American citizens. For example, 157 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: ITI in holders, DACA recipient refugees, assyles, Green card holders, 158 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: amongst others, must have pre approval for a mortgage loan. 159 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: They are literally replacing you, literally replacing you, and there's 160 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: going to be a moment, and it's very close where 161 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: it's too late for you to do anything about it. 162 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: It's no longer political, it's cultural. You're seeing it in 163 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: your schools. Go to the hospital in the emergency room. 164 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: God help you. I hope you don't. But you end 165 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: up in the emergency room and there's your dad in 166 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: his eighties and you're out in the hallway, and nobody 167 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: in the group speaks a word of English. You got 168 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: to figure most of those people are here illegally and 169 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: it's not an emergency. They're just using the emergency room, 170 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: and that's not weird to them. When you come from 171 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: a country with socialized medicine and socialized education and socialized value, 172 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: so you go to the emergency room, you go to 173 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: the medical clinic for medical care. You have become accustomed to. 174 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: You don't matter, so you wait as long as you 175 00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: have to wait. You don't seek rev Your senses have 176 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: been dulled. You're insignificant. And you will notice in cultures 177 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: like this that it is not encouraged that you create, 178 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: that you contribute. Is it is encouraged that you distract. 179 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: There's always lots of dancing in sports, because this is 180 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: what this is the bread and circuses. In a socialized economy. 181 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: You don't want people to focus in an industrious way 182 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: on creating. You don't want them creating the government creates. 183 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: You want them to dance and play sports, cheap sports. 184 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: Here's the ball, kick it, and lots of dancing, and 185 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: you have festivals and big parties. This is the democrat approach, 186 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: and it's very popular to these demographics because that's all 187 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: they've ever known. They don't know there's anything different. It's 188 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: not their fault. That's the culture they came from. So 189 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: the fact that they would replace one overlord with another 190 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: is befuddling to you. But understand this, they don't know 191 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: there's a better way. They A lot of folks didn't 192 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: come here from those countries seeking opportunity. They came here 193 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: to recreate the very life they've always lived. Just you know, 194 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: with air conditioning in their house and better food. They 195 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: didn't come here to recreate with a sense of true freedom. 196 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: They can't imagine that that's available. The people that are 197 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: dangerous to the Democrats are people who did know that 198 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: was That's why your Cuban immigrants who come here are 199 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: a very different breed. That's why so many of them 200 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: become Republicans because they don't want to be subjugated. They 201 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: know what Castro took away, they know how it could 202 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: be better. That's why this round of Venezuelans that are 203 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: coming listen to what those people say. This is why 204 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: the Vietnamese who come here listen to what those people say. 205 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: Look how many Chinese dissidents come here, and I mean 206 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: they're screaming America. Do you do you not understand? If 207 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: you don't fix yourself, you're the last hope. When you 208 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: saw people being welded into their home during COVID in China, 209 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: you saw an authoritarian, tyrannical government that treats people the 210 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: way you would treat ants in a mound out in 211 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: front of your house. That's human nature. That's not impossible 212 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: to happen here. We've got people imprisoned. Over January sixth, 213 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: our president was shot in the face. None of this 214 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: is accidental, but we have become so accustomed to no 215 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: matter what, it'll be Okay, we're America. I suppose. No, 216 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: that's not how it works. The Venice Whilen's thought that 217 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: the Cubans thought that you can absolutely fall off the 218 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: side of the earth. And it's the same mindsets and 219 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: the same types of people doing this with the same promises. 220 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: Tyrants don't aspire to power and lead revolution on the 221 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: basis that you'll be starving at the end of this. 222 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: They promise those rich bastards over there that you hate 223 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: because they're rich, we'll take everything they've got and we'll 224 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: kill them if we have to, and you'll have what 225 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: they have. We'll replace them with you. You'll be over there. 226 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: That's what they believe. That is the idea. You know, 227 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of complaining about Kamala Harrison price controls. 228 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: You can't just declare what prices should be and what 229 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: she calls price gouging. And I'm delighted that people oppose 230 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: her and they say, yes, that's correct, But wait a second, 231 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: what do you call it when someone owns a gas 232 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: station and they're short on gas, and they try to priorit. 233 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: They say, we'll open up, but only if we can 234 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: make more money. Because a lot of you email me 235 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: and go ma, they shouldn't be able to that's price gouging, 236 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: and even in the state of Texas, we have laws 237 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: against it. So you know what happens exactly what's going 238 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: to happen under Kamala Harris. They shut the gas station down, 239 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: lock the door, and drive away. So then people go, 240 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: we got to require them to be open. The gas 241 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: station has to stay open, and they can't make an 242 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: extra dollar during that time. Well you kind of like 243 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: a little price control yourself, don't you. But you don't 244 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: mind that for the super Bowl? Can you believe it? 245 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: There's thirty thousand dollars a ticket for the super Bowl. 246 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: Is that not price scouging? Is that not supply and demand? 247 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: Why do we say? And it's all the Republican governors 248 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: comes in, We're gonna require those damn gas stations. They're 249 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: gonna stay open and they're not gonna charge a pennymore. Okay, 250 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: they're gonna work under tougher conditions. They're gonna have to 251 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: get people to come in when they didn't want to. 252 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: What should they take a loss because of that time, 253 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: Either you believe in the laws of economics or you don't. 254 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: Were they just gonna have plentiful gasoline? 255 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: Do we just say this? 256 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: It is very well documented that words nowadays can actually 257 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: break your bones. Why you're not at the time the 258 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: Michael Berry Show, there's when drunk Daid and his big 259 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: owners who have a personal ax to grind when with 260 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton, when they talked their minions into impeaching Ken 261 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: Paxton and sent that to the Senate, and we fought 262 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: like hell to keep Ken Paxton the Attorney general. It 263 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: wasn't because I think he's handsome, or because he's a 264 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: buddy of mine. I don't think I've ever met him 265 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: in person. It wasn't because I don't know, I like 266 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: his ties or anything else. It was because he does 267 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: his job as Attorney General in a way that no 268 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 1: one else would. And that's why they wanted to replace 269 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: him with George P. Bush. And that's why he whipped 270 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: his ass, and that's why they they tried with Guzman 271 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: raising nine million dollars. They didn't want him to be 272 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: the Attorney general because dirty little secret. A lot of 273 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: Republicans don't actually want who accomplish what they campaign on 274 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: and what we demand. Well, Paxton didn't get the memo. 275 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: He's actually going after these things. He's being a sledgehammer 276 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: against these people. Headline. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launches 277 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: investigation into reports that organizations may be illegally registering non 278 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: citizens to vote. You've been hearing about this. These NGOs, 279 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: these non government organizations are registering illegals and non citizens 280 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: to vote, which they're not allowed to do. Well, nobody 281 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: else wants to take it on, but the attorney general does. 282 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton is our guest. 283 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 3: Welcomes, good morning. 284 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: How concerned are you, General Paxton that non citizens are 285 00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: presently being registered. Obviously we're at the investigation stage, but 286 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: you're not going to deploy scarce resources unless there's a 287 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: real chance of this. 288 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 3: So let me set this up. On day one of 289 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 3: Biden's administration, he announced that he was not going to 290 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 3: deport anybody anymore. He didn't wait for a week, he 291 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: didn't wait for a month, he didn't wait for two days. 292 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 3: It was number one on his list and why he 293 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 3: wanted the cartels to know that they could. They needed 294 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 3: to start bringing people in that they could profit, and 295 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 3: they wanted to get as many people here as possible 296 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 3: who no longer had to hide from border patrol because 297 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 3: boarder patrol was their greater and then logistics to get 298 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 3: into the states that Biden wanted them in, which is 299 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: places like Texas, swing states that they don't yet control. 300 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: And so I've been concerned forever that that was the plan. 301 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 3: And sure enough we find out that these NGOs are 302 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 3: operating on state property registering people. And you're saying, well, 303 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 3: that sounds fairly innocuous, right, registering people to vote. But 304 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 3: these people had come out of a motor vehicle place 305 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 3: where they are getting their license, where they're automatically registered 306 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 3: to vote if they're qualified to vote, if they are 307 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 3: a citizen. So why is it that we are putting 308 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 3: on state property, allowing on state property NGOs to register 309 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: people to vote who are not qualified to register at 310 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 3: the Department of Motor Vehicle spot where they're getting their 311 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 3: driver's life. That to me is suspicious, and that's why 312 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: we started going around to these locations, and that's why 313 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: we're investigating this right now. 314 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: So if upon your investigation, I mean the best thing 315 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: to happen, in my humble opinion, is they shut down 316 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: their efforts or it reduces their efforts such that they 317 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: can't skew an election against it. We just want integrity 318 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: in our elections. But these folks are bold and they 319 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: want to win at all costs. So if they continue 320 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: and you catch them and you're sure they've done it, 321 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: what is the remedy from there? 322 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,959 Speaker 3: So the remedy and we need to get this remedy out. 323 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 3: Sure you can go I legally, though, take your chances, 324 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 3: but you can be prosecuted and we're going to do 325 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 3: everything we can to prosecute you. And we've got limitations 326 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: here because of the Court of Chromal Appeals that you 327 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 3: and I have talked about, but we're on our way 328 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 3: back and there's no doubt that we're going to have 329 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 3: that ability soon, so we can come prosecute these people. 330 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 3: And the penalties for organizing this stuff are more than 331 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: just illegal voting and legal voting. There is a penalty, 332 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 3: there is prosecution available, but if you organize illegal voting 333 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: like some of these non profs are, that's we're talking 334 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 3: long term sentences for affecting elections. In a more dramatic way. 335 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: You know, would you explain? Because I think it's good 336 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: for people to understand exactly what the appellate court did 337 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: and how they ruled a supposedly Republican court, because I 338 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: think that's a very very dirty story. 339 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: It's a very dirty story that in ninety nine point 340 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: nine percent of the people don't know, and they don't 341 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 3: know because for the media didn't tell. We have a 342 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 3: confusing judicial system in Texas. We have the Texas Supreme Court, 343 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 3: which is the final court of appeal for civil cases, 344 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 3: but we have a different criminal Court of Appeal which 345 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,239 Speaker 3: is like the Supreme Court on criminal matters that no 346 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 3: one knows. They're nine members, all Republicans, and unfortunately no 347 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 3: one knows them. So I think that they were many 348 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 3: of them were put there by guys like George Source 349 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 3: to make sure that they did what they did, which 350 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 3: was they struck down a statute that was passed in 351 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 3: nineteen fifty one by the Texas legislature to acquire that 352 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 3: the Attorney general prosecute voter fraud. And I think this 353 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 3: was a responsible was going on back in the LBJ days, 354 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 3: realizing that local prosecutors weren't going to do it because 355 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 3: of political reasons, and so they gave that job at 356 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 3: the turning General. Thousands of cases have been brought. We 357 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 3: had almost a thousand investigations and prosecutions going when the 358 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: Stevens decision came down out of the blue two days 359 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: after the following deadline to run against anybody on the 360 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 3: quarter call appeals. They struck down the statute arguing that 361 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 3: the Attorney General holding that the Attorney General didn't have 362 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 3: the authority to go to court because he was in 363 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 3: he or she was in the executive branch and therefore 364 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 3: couldn't go into court to prosecute company. So if they 365 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 3: are right, no attorney general in the country could because 366 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: it's a violation of separation of powers, whether it's me 367 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: or any other state attorney general. It was the most 368 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 3: ludicrous decision. It overrode, you know, seventy one years of precedent, 369 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 3: thousands of cases of prosecutions, and so every one of 370 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 3: our prosecutions, real voter fraud that we were prosecuting, was dismissed. 371 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: And I want to be very clear so people understand 372 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: why we go after people like drunk Daid and why 373 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: we go after plenty of other Republicans. These were Republicans 374 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: who did this, and when you dig deep, these are 375 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley Republicans. When you dig deep, these are anti 376 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: Trump Republicans. When you dig deep and look at where 377 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: their funding is coming from. This is a little cabal. 378 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: This is not This isn't random people coming to some 379 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: conclusion on their own. There is clearly a Deus ex 380 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: machina overseeing this production and telling each person to play 381 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: their part. This is not accidental, folks. It would take 382 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: a long time, and I've done it here to explain 383 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: how all this worked. Attorney General Ken Paxson is our guest. Hangtick, 384 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: can you hold with us for one more moment? 385 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely right now? 386 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 2: What's cricket say? 387 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: Petur PACs reprigerators? The Michael Berry show. 388 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: Low can't last long, so hurry into cricket city. 389 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: The Attorney General Texas Ken Paxton is our guest. General Paxton, 390 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: This issue of election integrity a foremost concern in Pennsylvania, 391 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: the state that is most likely to be the Florida 392 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: of two thousand, the state's going to make the biggest 393 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: difference in Philadelphia has a great deal of election fraud. 394 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: What kind of strategy do you have to ensure that 395 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: whether someone is Republican or Democrat as a candidate a voter, 396 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: that there will be integrity in our elections, because I'll 397 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: tell you in twenty twenty two, I'm certain Clifford Tatum 398 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: and Rodney Ellis and we know this guy that they 399 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: finally just brought charges on that there was massive fraud 400 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: and Alex Meeler would have been the county judge and 401 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: a lot of changes would have occurred. I'm concerned that 402 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: that happened again, particularly in Harris County. 403 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 3: Concern and one of the challenges I now have is 404 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 3: I don't have the authority until we get it back, 405 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: which I am working on by trying to change the 406 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 3: Court of Criminal fields and also getting the House to 407 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 3: pass Colson the Senate to reauthorize me to prosecute voter fraud. 408 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 3: But right now, in order if there was a voter 409 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 3: fraud in Harris County, would be the Harris County DA 410 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 3: that would have to prosecute. There's no backup, and that's 411 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: one of the challenges we have. That's why they took 412 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 3: me out of that position because they knew then that 413 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 3: Travis County, Soros DA, Bear County Soros da. These big 414 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 3: counties have solros das and they're not going to prosecute 415 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 3: voter fraud, and so it opens the door to vote 416 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 3: fraud until the legislature gets back in this game and 417 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 3: realize this, We're going to lose the state if we 418 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 3: don't fix this staff. We have real issues in Texas. 419 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: So all I can do is talk about how we 420 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 3: will prosecute you. It may be down the road, it 421 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 3: may be a year from now, who knows, but we 422 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 3: will when we can come, come back and prosecute people 423 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 3: so they know that they are taking some risk that 424 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 3: they could end up in prison if they're going to 425 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 3: cheat people out of their vote. 426 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: Speaking of election integrity and entities who get very involved 427 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: to swing elections, and we saw it in twenty twenty 428 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: and we're seeing it again in twenty twenty four. I 429 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: know that my Facebook page has been slowed. You have 430 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: gone after meta with you own Facebook, alphabet, with Jones, 431 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: Google and other big tech for targeting the citizens of Texas. 432 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: And you are the representative of the people of Texas 433 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: as an agent of the court. Talk about some of 434 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: the wins and why those cases are important. 435 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 3: So I came to my second term. The reason I 436 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 3: ran was to deal with some of the big tech 437 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 3: issues because I was very concerned that they were going 438 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 3: to control our elections, control our speech. And I realized, 439 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 3: if we don't find some way to address this very soon, 440 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: that these big tech companies, we're going to make our 441 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 3: elections very one sided. And I didn't know if we 442 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 3: didn't address it soon, I didn't see a way out 443 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 3: of this in the future, and so we went off 444 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 3: into research. I was in Palo Alto a lot talking 445 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 3: to professors from Stanford technology experts, experts on anti trust, 446 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 3: and we started, you know, figuring out some of this. 447 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 3: We don't have it all figured out, but we figured 448 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: out how to file lawsuits C and Google, and we 449 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 3: filed four. And they're important because if we don't find 450 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 3: some way to restructure them and to take away their 451 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 3: ability to control the entire marketplace of searching, the entire 452 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 3: marketplace of advertising on the internet, the ability to censor, 453 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 3: we are going to not have a free country because 454 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 3: we're not going to be able to exchange ideas in 455 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 3: a way that people can take them in. 456 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: And the idea that we're having to argue over things 457 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: that we all thought were a hallmark of America. Free 458 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: and fair elections that matter, and the winner wins and 459 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,479 Speaker 1: the loser loses, and the voters had their choice, and 460 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: that will be our government. The fact that this would 461 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: even be up for grabs, it feels like we're on 462 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: our heels here. It feels like we're having to battle 463 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: over things that we previously would have all shared as 464 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: part of the fabric of America. 465 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that look, I think the models changed under 466 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 3: the Obama administration. I truly believe that President Obama's the 467 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 3: first president of the United States that didn't love America 468 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 3: and wanted to see it restructured. And so the idea 469 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 3: now is we don't we don't all believe in it. 470 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 3: In a free country where the people get to decide. 471 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 3: There are certain elements of the elitist, both Republican and Democrat, 472 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 3: who think that they can better decide for us how 473 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 3: we should run this country, and they want to make 474 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 3: all the decisions because we're not smart enough, or gifted enough, 475 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 3: or something enough elite enough to know what the right 476 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 3: thing to do is. So we need we need the 477 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 3: Obamas of the world, We need the Bushes of the 478 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 3: world to tell us, you know, how things are going 479 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 3: to be, and so they want to pick, they want 480 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 3: to decide who gets elected at the highest levels and 481 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 3: make it look like we have a representative former government. 482 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 3: The reality is they want a one party system that 483 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 3: they control where we have elections that they're all dominated 484 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 3: by laws that allow for easy cheating, so that just 485 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 3: like Venzuela, they can control the elect She's the highest level. 486 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 3: Ken Paxton, were. 487 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: Exactly, Kin Paxton, keep up the fight.

Some of 499 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: you will remember Monica. She was a woman who called 500 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: in I don't know six weeks eight weeks ago, and 501 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: she is a woman who was in the workforce and 502 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: then I believe she left the workforce when she hit 503 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: child number two, number three. I don't remember all the details, 504 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: but I remember feeling like people like this, their voice 505 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: is not being heard. These are not the people at 506 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: the convention. This is not the Kamala Harris, this is 507 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: not the Nancy Pelosi. I've been around politics, and I've 508 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: been around the people who hold these positions. Hillary Clinton 509 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: is not like you. Kamala Harris is not like you. 510 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is not like you. AOC is not like you. 511 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar is not like you. And there is a 512 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: massive portion of America, particularly American women, who are being 513 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: left out. Their values don't matter. They care about their children. 514 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: I call them mommy issues, and some people get upset. 515 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't know why. There's nothing sweeter to me than 516 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: when a kid calls out to mommy. They love their mommy. 517 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: I see the respect my children have for my wife, 518 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: who's now mom or mama. But I don't know why 519 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: that makes people uncomfortable. Mommy issues are America's issues. They're 520 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: really the two biggest issues in our country are children 521 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: and our elderly, their health, their dignity, and the third 522 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: is small business. And that's why I talk about them 523 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: so much that that is the core of the country. 524 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: Everything else stems from that.
